dumb

For too long, we have taught little boys growing up that expressing emotion is for girls and that real men are "hard." We excuse outbursts of violence and anger under the guise that "boys will be boys," creating a culture of toxic masculinity. The result is a new generation of men that feels the need to prove their "manhood" to feel accepted by society. Of course, this attitude is detrimental to their own mental (and often physical) health and those around them. I'm sure you've seen plenty of real-life examples of this, but a Reddit thread asking for the dumbest things people have seen a man do to "prove" their "manhood" has revealed just how prevalent toxic masculinity is. Read on and dispair!

Remember the days when we could watch movies in the theater without a care in the world? Our biggest worry was which size popcorn to get (large obviously) or where to sit (back row, middle seats, duh). But those days are distant memories, and who knows when we'll be allowed back into theaters. We wouldn't even mind the obnoxious idiots who talk throughout the movie, or who have their phones on loud—just bring back normality, please! Joining us in movie theater nostalgia is writer Mike Ginn, who recently tweeted: "The thing I miss most about movie theaters is overhearing someone say the dumbest f—king thing I've ever heard before the previews start." His tweet went viral, and he received thousands of replies from people, all sharing the dumbest things they've overheard at the movies. What's yours?

Sitting in an office with your coworkers for the best part of eight hours a day means you're bound to become comfortable with each other. And when you're spending that much time with the same people day in and day out, it's easy to let your guard down and say some pretty stupid things. Whether it's gossip over lunch or small talk at the water cooler, workplace conversations can often be the furthest thing from intelligence. 

Here are 20 tweets showing some of the dumbest and funniest conversation snippets people have overheard their coworkers say. We don't know about you, but they definitely make us feel a little better about ourselves – and our coworkers.

An interesting question asked by @bijanstephan sparked some pretty reasonable answers!
